    RIP Coach

    He was the main speaker at my wife's graduation ceremony for her master's at nd that I attended. He gave a hell of a speech. The majority was about his marriage. I didn't much care for him until I heard him talking life vs football.

    I nailed that guess of 16in before he did, meteorologists stealing my guesses.....repeat of the dust bowl happening??? I hope not. I goggle searched "increase of trees dying in Ohio" after my last walk through my property as it seems insects or something seems to be causing major stresses in a...

    Yesterday we were missed again by the measurable rain. The area well digger is currently swamped digging deeper wells as some older shallow systems have dried up. With frozen ground the snowfall didn't soak it just went to Erie. Definitely could be in a bad spot if the spring rains don't...

    I believe I've crested the halfway point but looking at a different angle it's still not close enough to get bust ass excited yet. the quest of the 2winter supply is looking better as I get through the pile. It goes great until you come across a big big one then it's WrestleMania for...

    I've sold one load of firewood 15 years ago. $100 for prime seasoned oak and locust. I hope to never do it again. It's far to much work for the return income if you have little to no equipment. If a person was set up with equipment to only have to cut logs and not touch any wood (maybe limb wood...

    We could use a good 16" in that time frame to start drought recovery.

    I borrow a splitter once a year from friends. Not quite halfway done currently. The unsplit cuts are spread way out. Splitting wood that we cut a year ago. Minus the logs I pulled up when we were still froze. Trying my best to get 2winters ahead. Probably have 1.5 worth but have more to haul out...

    My wife has a full drawer full of scented oils she will put drops of in our kettle on the woodstove. I think I like lemon the any citrus smells the best. sprigs of rosemary went in sometimes. At first being on a cook stove I thought you were making fresh orange apple cider mimosas for breakfast...

    Java Joy - The Coffee Thread

    Are whole beans in bulk just a thing of the past? I don't get out much. As a kid a few of the grocery stores around had a huge selection of beans. I don't know of anywhere I can go to buy bulk beans anymore. School me please. Went to Meijer after getting my new grinder in September and there's...

    Life in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s

    This is another thing I'm committed to, not this but growing my hair out. My grandfather and an uncle had long hair. I thought it was the coolest thing when I was young. Told myself once in my life I'd try long hair. So prepping for my midlife crisis and to check a bucket list item I've had mine...
